So, this section marks Farber's progress until his meeting with Mary Lasker whom we met in the Prologue. Basically, Farber has gone as far as he can on his own and with the aid of the Koster. Mukherjee recaps the journey from Farber's basement laboratory to his own hospital. Out of the darkness and into the light.
My plan for my next entry is to recap Part 1 with a video and some mind mapping.
I like how Mukherjee stresses the idea that Farber is never satisfied. I can really relate to how Farber is feeling. Never feeling like you've done enough. I also like how Mukherjee paints this image of Farber himself in my head. A man who rose up from a basement that is willing to give up his time in life to solve the mystery of cancer. To find this secret weapon that will help scientists win this war against the wrath of cancer. "'We are pushing ahead as fast as possible,' he wrote in another letter-but it was not quite fast enough for him." (Mukherjee 104). <-- sorry if that citation was wrong...
ReplyDeleteHey! A new name! The quotation blending was beautiful. The citation, however, should only include the page number and a period after the last parenthesis. Like this, ....enough for him" (104).
